Re: Open Source Cross Platform Driver Station; Ready for Testing

Yeah, I did realize that the changes to the 2015 Control System would lead to changes being required in the Node Driverstation API. Despite that, I'm confident that the old CRios and Control System will still be used for testing purposes and so the current DS protocol is still a useful thing to have implemented. If it changes alot I will probably still maintain both versions (since the difference likely won't be with the front end, but the back end Node Module.

Regardless of ANYTHING that happens though, I still want to see if I can get some teams to help test this since I cannot do it myself. (well at least not until the Winter break in 2 weeks time at the earliest). Even if the backend changes, I need to know what works and what doesn't with the Joystick System, and I can only do so much using Netcat to capture packets.
